The Hamaker Punic inscriptions are three Punic inscriptions, found in Carthage in 1824 in Husainid Tunisia.

They were published in Hamaker's Miscellanea Phoenicia. The large inscription is held in the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden. ^[1]

The largest and best inscribed was published in 1824 by Friedrich Münter. ^[2] It is known as NE 432, 16. It was not published in CIS. ^[3]

Two of them are known as CIS I 173 (smallest fragment) and CIS I 440 (mid sized fragment).
